It was time to finally pick all the cabbages from the large raised bed planted in early April. The Filderkraut Cabbages were huge and now I had to find ways to preserve them all. Previously, I had picked

The Kratky Method of Hydroponics has worked wonderfully once again. This Buttercrunch lettuce has given me a lot of delicious salads in the last two months. As you can see it is coming close to the end.

The Buttercrunch Lettuce I have been growing for 2 months using the Kratky Method of hydroponics has astounded me. I could not be any happier with the results. As you can see here the lettuce is nice and

Hi fellow Hiveians, Today I wanted to try my hand at making some fresh, raw apple cider vinegar! DIY Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar With things changing across parts of the world and economy, one of the

Today has been a scorcher. 27 degrees Celsius (80F). Odd to say the least as we are currently in the middle of winter in South Africa. I don't have much of a garden, but to help with the anxiety that Covid

This is odd #fungi for #fungifriday. Red, flattish, and bumpy on the outside with bright, mustard yellow wet fleshy stuff on the inside. . .

Hi fellow Steemians and preppers, A much different kind of post from me with this one. I have mixed feelings doing it but with a toddler in the house, we felt it prudent to be more prepared now rather

So many projects in one picture. No overtime tonight, so I'm letting the little chickens start the night outside. If they're doing okay, they'll stay out. I showed them earlier how to get in and out of

Soul Sister and a GSL hanging out on the log that holds up their coop. I've got half a mind to let them sleep outside like big girls, but I want to be home to teach them to go to the coop, so not tonight.

I think they're getting too big for this brooder... Good thing their head feathers are coming in. They had a long day outside today while we got things done. They spent a lot of time talking with the big

Play time was later tonight. We didn't get home til about 6:30, so I was rushed. That's why the previous post (the harvest one) was so quick. Here's a better picture of the small play pen the girls have.
